Celtic are ahead in their Europa League tie.
Celtic edged to a 1-0 victory in the first leg of their Europa League tie against Zenit St Petersburg.
Callum McGregor scored a winner after being put through by substitute Charly Musonda to give his side the lead heading into next week’s second leg in Russia.
Just as important was keeping a clean sheet and ensuring Zenit did not score a crucial away goal.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton picked out goalscorer McGregor as his man-of-the-match but believes there were four more players who would have been deserving of the accolade.
Centre-back duo Kristoffer Ajer and Jozo Simunovic were impressive but will have to repeat their heroics in a week’s time.
Celtic can celebrate tentatively for now but must remember they are only halfway to getting the job done.
Stand in goalkeeper Dorus de Vries only had to make two saves. In Russia he is likely to be tested a lot more.
